Tony Horne is one of the most in demand ghostwriters and speakers in the UK. Having previously presented high profile breakfast shows on the radio for over 25 years, he has now penned over 35 books.

From the first winner of the X Factor Steve Brookstein, to the late PC David Rathband (gunned down by Raoul Moat in 2010)...from former darts World Number One Shayne Burgess to Terry West, brother of Lesley Ann Downey, one of the Moors Murders victims. From undercover cops to whistleblowers, gangsters to business gurus, talent show contestants to bodyguards...witness protection officers to presidential impeachments. As versatile as his portfolio is, his passion and where he is most sought after, is TRUE CRIME. Indeed, one of his 2025 books about a London gangster is the subject of a Netflix commission whilst 'Inside the Mind of a Killer' (based on Tony's book Tango 190 about the biggest UK police manhunt for 40 years) went to number 2 on Prime in 2025.

His high profile clients mean that he has had access to many stories that you have seen on the news - and now he tells those stories behind the stories as well as talking you through their individual details. He has been in the room with these people, so offers authenticity and credibility., His broadcasting background, which saw him interview a huge range of people such as Nick Clegg, Ricky Gervais, Mickey Rooney, Steps, Take That, Dr Robert Winston, David Schwimmer, Chris Ryan Vic Reeves, Russell Watson, James Nesbitt and many many more, means that he is a fluent, natural, thoughtful and witty communicator able to work from notes, with powerpoint, or ad-lib at will in person or online.

He delivers talks on both the process of ghostwriting and of course, the stories themselves and is able to lead writing workshops too. For variety, he also offers several non-crime lectures from the fields of showbiz and sport.
